Explanation about the rivet structure
In World War II, welded armor and cast armor were the most advanced representatives, but this does not mean that all tanks were produced by welding or casting processes.
For example, the well-known German No. 4 tank has countless rivet structures on its chassis. Only the front of the car body, which is subject to attack, is welded.
Similarly, the post-war American M48 tank also had screw caps and rivets under the chassis.
Therefore, welded armor and cast armor are only technological innovations used in the main parts of the tank to withstand attacks, and countries have adopted simpler rivet structures inside and other parts that are not mainly attacked.
In the interior of modern tanks, you can also see a large number of bolts and rivets. If you are interested, you can search for photos of the inside of the tank, which can prove that what the dragon spirit said is true.
Of course, in the main protective parts, the protection of the tank with rivet connection structure is relatively fragile and absolutely backward. There is no doubt that some areas of the car body mentioned by Long Ling use rivet structure, not to justify this backward design! (To be continued.) )
